- Fred Sirieix’s daughter is an Olympic medallist after a stunning diving display
Fred Sirieix’s daughter Andrea Spendolini-Sirieix claimed a bronze medal in the women’s synchronised 10m platform Olympic final in Paris on Wednesday morning.
The First Dates star is out in the French capital to cheer on his daughter, and she delivered on the big stage alongside partner Lois Toulson.
After two solid dives to start off their competition, Spendolini-Sirieix and Toulson faltered with their third dive to leave themselves playing catch up.
But after starting the final round in fourth, they produced their best dive of the competition to pip Canada’s pairing to the final spot on the podium.
Sirieix was watching on at poolside and punched the air in delight as the final result was announced.
